Not sure what the rest of you thought, but while Despicable Me didn’t look like much at first we found it had a lot more heart than we’d originally suspected. So to the masses of fans (including GST) who made the Universal’s 2010 animated film a hit will be as overjoyed as Gru’s minions that a sequel is coming to theaters this Summer. This time around we’re getting plenty more of those minions pictured above (who really are as cute as can be), as well as Gru, his adopted trio of Edith, Margo and Agnes, and of course dastardly deeds, this time perpetrated by the yet unnamed Al Pacino character. Have a look at the trailer below…
Steve Carell will again voice Gru, who in this sequel has been recruited by the “Anti-Villain League” to help defeat a powerful new baddie. He’s joined by a top notch cast including Al Pacino, Kristen Wiig, Miranda Cosgrove, Steve Coogan, Russell Brand, and Ken Jeong voicing new and returning characters. Directed by the returning duo of Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud Despicable Me 2 has been slated for release this Summer on July 3rd, 2013. Who’s ready??
